The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 112

 

Chapter 0112 

When Linda said she knew enough, I knew she was referring to her blackmail. What she knew was that Nicholas and I had been campus sweetheart three years ago. Unfortunately, that was enough to get her everything what she wanted

She picked up one of the cookbooks. Since I know everything, I expect you to agree with my decisions. here. I know best, after all. You should consider yourself fortunate to be paired with me.” 

I can help.I started to reach for a book of my own, but she slapped my hand away

You can help by not screwing this up for me.” 

For the rest of our hour together, I was forced to agree with all of Linda’s decisions, even the ones I knew wouldn’t make sense. No one would select three different kind of egg dishes. Where was the 

variety

But when I tried to suggest it, I was immediately shut down

It would be such a shame for little Elva, wouldn’t it?she said. If her mother was tossed out on the street, destitute and publicly shamed. Absolutely tragic.” 

I kept my mouth shut after that

When we were finally allowed to separate for the day, I was worn out and eager to spend time with Elva

Nicholas had agreed to check in on her while I was busy, so I was not surprised to find him and Mark playing cards in my bedroom while Elva took a nap

Both Nicholas and Mark looked at me when I came through the door. Mark frowned

Nicholas asked, What happened?He kept his voice soft, so as not to wake Elva

My heart skipped a beat. How had he been able to tell something had happened with only a single glance? Mark had only grimaced, but Nicholas knew instantly, it wasn’t a sickness, nor a passing moment 

of anger

He knew something bad had happened

I walked to them and fell into one of the open chairs at the table. I held Nicholas’s gaze, before flicking

telling glance to Mark 

Nicholas, fortunately, caught my meaning. Mark can be trusted. He knows must everything about the 

past, and our currentpredicament.” 

I nodded, relieved. You both surely know about the newest competition.” 

Yes.” 

Then you know we girls are to work in pairs. But you might not have expected that my partner would be 

Linda.” 

Nicholas straightened. Mark leaned forward, placing his elbows on the table

Has she threatened you?” Mark asked

Not bodily. Though she has taken charge of our challenge and refuses to accept any input from me. And some of these choices she is makingI feel as if she might be setting me up for failure.” 

It would be a dangerous gamble on her part, to make us both look bad while hoping she alone would weather the storm. I suppose she had a chance of surviving it, more than I did, simply because of the 

importance of her pack

Even so, it was a risk. One I wouldn’t have thought her calculating enough to make. Yet the evidence 

was there

At this rate, whether the secret of our past is out or not won’t matter. I’m going to be eliminated strictly
